Hi Ranae, I am Angie. I have been diagnosed with bipolar since 1991. I swing from the deep depressions to the mania. I understand how you feel right now. I once stayed in my bedroom for 6 months and have had sucide thoughts and plans even wrote the letters to those I love.You didn't say how long the meds have been increased..maybe its not been long enough or maybe you need a dofferent med. (Yes I know we get sick and tired of the trial and error of meds) But it is a necassity and well worth it in the long run. Have you inquired if there is a crisis office where you have called? Sometimes there is and that could get your foot in the door.

The fact that you said "I have been able to recognize that I am walking on a dangerous path right now." Tells me that you still have some good insight and you posted here says that you can do this. Take it one day or minute at a time whatever it takes. You have to be alive to enjoy life. I do know that right now life seems unenjoyable but Thats only right now. I pray+ for you some extra strenght. Please repost and let us know how you are.

Hugs, Angie
